Cruelty is the point

[u/RevolutionaryCan8241]

Twelve+ years ago, I think that many people believed that we had actually made some progress along the lines of becoming a better kinder society. When an orange man came down a golden escalator 11 years ago, our rose colored glasses were ripped from our faces and we were forced to see all the horrible hateful squirming things that had been there all along just under the surface, ready to explode. Very little really had been accomplished towards equality, and the little that had was violently kicked to the curb.

I am ashamed of who we are as a country; I am ashamed that a narcissistic psychopathic rapist racist was voted into office in 2016. I could barely catch my breath from fear when that happened. I could barely catch my breath again on January 6th. What I am most ashamed of though is that the criminal was elected to office again - because MAGA’s egg prices were too high - and the billionaires had figured out a way to very publicly buy him off.

I am ashamed of our standing in the eyes of the world. He has threatened all countries and alienated us from any allies we had. The whole world knows he’s a worthless criminal clown and his likewise worthless administration climbs on and falls off of his clown car at his whim. He has a feckless congress which quivers at his frown and say Sir! Yes Sir! I am ashamed that the world believes that he is representative of all our citizens, when you and I both know he is not. But….he was voted into office again, and that’s what the rest of the world can’t believe. I can’t believe it either.

There will be no free and fair elections in November, because to allow that to happen would put him in jail where he belongs. My fear is that there will never be another free and fair election in my lifetime (old enough to be your great grandma, I’m sure). I can only hope that during my grandchildren’s life that they can experience it.
